Volvo Introduces Online Community

Volvo introduced a new online social network allowing owners, drivers and fans of Volvo trucks to post photos and videos of their trucks, share stories of life on the road, and discuss best practices and tips on the Web.

Volvotruckscommunity.com also gives members the opportunity to chat online with Volvo Trucks brand ambassadors T.J. Tilcox, of Ice Road Truckers fame, and Don Turkelson, winner of the 2008 Back on the Road campaign.

In addition to their peer-to-peer discussions of the trucking industry, the community keeps them up-to-speed on special offers and promotions from Volvo Trucks.

"Volvo Trucks customers are a special group," said Scott Kress, senior vice president - sales and marketing. "They know modern technology, they know trucks and trucking and they aren't tied to old school equipment choices. They demand modern, productive and efficient trucks. And they like to share their experience with their peers in the trucking industry."

Other features of the online community include a Volvo Truck dealer locator, a link to Volvo Trucks on YouTube, industry news and a calendar of events. Members will also have priority registration for special Volvo promotions and contests.
